Rystad Energy has signed a data-sharing agreement with OceanScore to integrate FuelEU Maritime pooling price data into its Clean Shipping Solution platform. This collaboration allows the shipping industry to better track compliance surplus offers and associated costs under European regulations.
Why it matters
This integration enables customers to compare the costs of conventional and alternative fuels against regulatory compliance prices under the FuelEU Maritime framework. Access to transparent pricing data helps shipping firms navigate the complexities of combining compliance balances.
The OceanScore Pool Price Index fell to €108.60 per tonne of CO2 equivalent in September 2026 from €118.90 in August 2026. The index, which tracks FuelEU compliance surplus offers, provides weekly updates to market participants.
